Buffalo Quinoa Bites

Yields1 Serving
 2 tablespoons butter, melted
 2 tablespoon olive oil
 1/4 cup hot sauce (one that contains no sugar, and is all natural!)
 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
 2 cups cooked quinoa
 1 cup cannellini beans, mashed
 1 large egg, lightly beaten
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon peper
 3 tablespoons olive oil
1

Make the buffalo sauce. Combine the melted butter, olive oil, hot sauce and seasoned salt in a medium size bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

2

In another bowl combine the quinoa, mashed cannellini beans, egg, salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce. Mix well to moisten the ingredients and then form into 30-35 equal size balls (about 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of the quinoa mixture). Squeeze the balls together tightly with your hands, being careful.

3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add half the balls to skillet and cook until golden and crisp on all sides, about five minutes.

4

Serve with the rest of the dipping sauce.
